My graduate work at IITM involved the study of the interaction of the Rubidium (Rb) atoms with a coherent Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) optical field with spatially varying phase factor and mode amplitude. Detailed computational and experimental studies have been carried out to understand the effect of the LG field on Zeeman coherence induced phenomena like electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) and nonlinear magneto-optical rotation (NMOR) and Hanle effect.
            I also had the opportunity to work at premier institutes like IISc (Indian institute of science, Bangalore, India) and RRI (Raman Research institute, Bangalore, India) where I was involved in the construction of an A-B differential amplifier circuit and extended cavity diode laser (ECDL) to perform the above mentioned experimental studies.
In my post-doctoral research work at UW, I had the opportunity to work on
two different fields:
Apart from research, I have also worked as an instructor for a summer quarter at University of Washington and managed class-sizes of about 100 students.
